Pin PTY sessions to the peer they were opened on so shells survive
active-node switches until the window is closed. Electron host owns
the connection; pop-out windows relay I/O via IPC (BroadcastChannel
fallback). Explicit terminal sessionIds no longer wipe sibling PTYs
on the same container.
Squash a container into a single-layer image from Manage → Flatten, with
repo/tag, pause, config re-apply, vault credentials, and optional registry push.
When duplicating with the same host ports, stop+rename the origin, deploy
and verify the new container, then remove the parked source. Client
precheck ignores ports owned only by the origin to avoid false blocks.
Fill the details terminal host for FitAddon, wait for a measurable box
before starting the PTY, re-apply xterm palettes after open, and re-fit
on UI color-mode changes so light sessions paint without a dark/light flip.
Store theme, density, and other prefs in a versioned JSON cache file
(matching peers.json) instead of localStorage-only, with migration and
a localStorage mirror for FOUC and legacy readers.
Expand light-mode CSS for dashboard, details, terminals, job/pull progress, restoring boot card, and settings chrome. Add a Jobs tray settings tab for dismiss timing and reconnect feedback volume; auto terminal themes follow UI color mode when saved.
Validate port mappings for empty host ports, in-form duplicates,
privileged low ports, and peer-side host port conflicts. Runs on
template deploy, deploy view, and add-container before create RPC.
Replace em-dash and ad-hoc loaders with the shared job-tray spinner
for deploy templates, host/swarm/tunnels/events, health latency,
container stats/logs/processes, and registry/volume browsers.
Peers live under Settings; Images is local-only. Registry is a top-level view with vault credentials, Hub search, and Registry API V2 catalog/tags/manifest/delete over the wire.
Adds a dedicated blank create form (name, image, always pull, ports,
auto-remove, advanced settings) separate from template Deploy, reuses
deployContainer with pull-if-missing and publish-all-ports support.
Replace the broken fire-and-forget submit path with deployDockerContainer
(including replace prompts), suggest a free name-copy by default, correctly
map custom networks/mounts/ports from inspect, and load config via typed RPC.
When deploying a container whose name already exists, prompt to Replace
(stop and remove the old container) or Cancel. Server accepts replace:true
to perform the swap; clients pre-check names and retry on conflict races.
Probe bash/sh/ash and related shells until a container terminal works, enable Swarm APIs by default, add keyboard go-chords and appearance prefs, and point install docs at https://install.peardock.boats.
Map Docker deploy failures to actionable how-to-fix messages, keep full
detail through RPC sanitization, and stop top-center toasts from doubling
the live job tray so operators only see one notification per action.
Add Settings UI to configure many Portainer-format template catalogs (not just one), merge them on fetch, drop duplicates by image/stack/title, and show source counts on the Deploy view.
Add a visible toast stack, fix presentError double-notify, wire density and auto-refresh settings, gate destructive confirms, improve empty/skeleton/search on resource lists, and enable browser history plus keyboard palette navigation.
Reserve space for window controls and split the titlebar clusters so brand and chrome no longer collide. Replace the full-screen status spinner with lightweight activity jobs in the event tray.
Batch typing into short frames, send UTF-8 instead of base64 for text,
exempt stream methods from the general rate limit, and skip heavy
middleware on terminalInput/resize for lower latency.
Production-grade xterm FitAddon resize, binary-safe I/O, TTY-safe
server streams, demuxed log viewer with line buffering, and auto-dismiss
deploy job panel without the full-screen spinner.
Debounce template search, harden deploy/duplicate/template flows with
reliable RPC and better form controls (switches/sliders). Raise muted
and secondary text contrast across styles so copy stays readable.
